About the Show​

Since 2016 Mind the Gap has been gathering real life stories from parents with learning disabilities across the UK for the Daughters of Fortune project.

The parents involved want to share their experiences and open up conversations to challenge the stigma surrounding learning disability and parenthood.

Paige is a beautiful photobook, which documents these stories with images taken by photographer Emilie Flower alongside quotes compiled by participants and writer Mary Cooper.

Mind the Gap worked with Research Partner Dr Kate Theodore from Royal Holloway, University of London, for the Daughters of Fortune project. The University now hosts a number of resources from the project on its website including a downloadable copy of the Paige photobook, training films and the Research Report.
